Open to senior SEO roles

I do SEO. And I build the systems that keep it running.

Five years in, across 10+ brands in AI, SaaS, healthcare, real estate and D2C. Technical, programmatic and LLM-first search, plus the reporting and publishing infrastructure that keeps it running after I hand it over.

02 What I do

Six things I get hired for.

Four are SEO. The other two are there because rankings that don't convert, and traffic you pay for twice, aren't wins.

01

LLM-first SEO

Content structured to get cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews, not just ranked below them.

02

Technical SEO

Site audits, schema architecture, meta at SKU scale, sitemap and robots hygiene, index-bloat cleanup, Core Web Vitals.

03

Programmatic SEO

Location, condition and service page systems, built off real search demand and fields the CMS actually renders.

04

Local & multi-location SEO

Google Business Profile optimisation across a location estate, with per-branch ranking and review tracking.

05

Content, built for search

Keyword-to-intent mapping and pillar architecture first. The writing serves the ranking target, not a word count.

06

Retention & lifecycle

Email, newsletters and WhatsApp flows, so the traffic SEO earns converts and comes back.

03 Selected work

What I've built.

Six ran through Yard AI, where I lead the SEO workstream. The client relationships are the agency's, so these are described by category, not by name.

D2C Kidswear Brand Kids' ethnic wear · India · Shopify · via Yard AI

A loved brand that search couldn't find: 286 products sitting under Shopify default metas, and a catalogue split only into “boys” and “girls”.

  • LLM SEO
  • Technical SEO
  • Taxonomy
  • Retention
  • Reporting

The problem

286 products and roughly 95 collections in the sitemap, and not one sampled product page had a written meta description. The catalogue was split into boys and girls, so a parent searching “anarkali for a 4-year-old for a wedding” had no way in.

What I did

  • Re-cut the taxonomy the way parents actually search: occasion, age band, silhouette. Not boys and girls.
  • Wrote a fixed meta-title formula and rolled it across every product and collection, plus a noindex / redirect list for internal and duplicate collections.
  • Built the LLM-SEO layer so the brand is answerable, not just rankable, in AI search.
  • Shipped standalone boys / girls / siblings landing pages, grounded in the live product catalogue.
  • Automated the monthly SEO report, with GSC and GA4 pulled straight into a client Google Sheet.

The brand now surfaces inside AI-search answers for high-intent ethnic-wear queries, a first in the category, with an SEO system the team can run without me.

Multi-Location Mental Healthcare Group Residential + outpatient care · 11 locations · via Yard AI

Two separately-branded arms, no schema, no sitemap, no GMB optimisation, and a report someone rebuilt by hand every week.

  • Local SEO
  • Programmatic SEO
  • Brand consolidation
  • Content pipeline
  • Reporting automation

The problem

Two separately-branded arms marketing to one patient journey. The search audit was blunt: no schemas, no meta tags, no sitemap, no robots.txt, no Google Business Profile optimisation, no reporting.

What I did

  • Ran the full-site SEO audit and wrote the naming and content standard for consolidating both arms into one brand.
  • Designed the programmatic SEO system of location, condition and service page templates, then mapped it to what the CMS actually renders, after finding fields the template silently dropped.
  • Optimised and tracked 11 Google Business Profiles, wiring the metrics pull through an automation layer when the direct API was unavailable.
  • Built the three-stage blog pipeline (topic, content, Webflow publish) with quality gates at each handoff.
  • Automated the weekly SEO report: GSC, GA4 and GMB into a single client sheet, on a schedule.

One unified search footprint across 11 locations, and a weekly report that produces itself instead of costing a day.

Luxury Real-Estate Developer Residential · HNI / NRI buyers · via Yard AI

Two websites, a high-net-worth audience, and a client brief that explicitly ruled out volume blogging.

  • Programmatic SEO
  • Editorial standard
  • PR tracking
  • Monthly reporting

The problem

Real estate SEO defaults to publishing daily and hoping. This client wanted the opposite: four articles a month maximum, no competitor ever named, and no price quoted that hadn't been verified that week.

What I did

  • Owned keyword research, content pillars and the SEO roadmap across both the group site and the flagship project site.
  • Replaced the volume-blogging plan with a programmatic layer of hyper-local, question-led and LLM-answer pages, sized to real search demand.
  • Split branded from non-branded query performance so the client could see what marketing was actually creating versus harvesting.
  • Built the editorial gate: a hard readability floor, short-paragraph rules, an inline source for every statistic, and no price published without live verification.
  • Set up the monthly SEO report and a PR coverage tracker reconciled against the live media page every run.

Four high-standard articles a month plus a scalable programmatic layer, with a fact-verification gate that blocks publishing rather than warning about it.

Astro-Tourism Resort Destination hospitality · WordPress · via Yard AI

Building a direct-booking content channel for a category most travellers don't know exists yet, while reducing OTA dependency.

  • Content automation
  • WordPress SEO
  • Technical debugging

The problem

A destination property in an emerging category, dependent on OTAs for discovery, with no organic engine and an unaudited WordPress stack.

What I did

  • Adapted the four-stage content pipeline to publish into WordPress via the REST API instead of Webflow.
  • Seeded 80 topics across six content pillars into an Airtable calendar running a proper status machine: planned, in progress, ready for review, approved, published.
  • Held every article to a readability floor and insisted on real location photography over stock or AI imagery.
  • Diagnosed why the SEO meta and Article / FAQ structured data were silently disappearing on publish. The custom meta fields had never been registered on the WordPress side. Scoped the fix.

A direct-booking content channel that runs on a state machine, and a structured-data bug caught before it cost another 25 posts their rich results.

Festival & Puja Essentials Brand D2C + Amazon marketplace · India · via Yard AI

Marketplace listings that ranked but didn't convert, and a retention funnel nobody had audited since launch.

  • Marketplace SEO
  • Conversion audit
  • Retention copy
  • WhatsApp CRM

The problem

Demand arrives in sharp, dated spikes. A listing that converts badly in week one of a festival can't be fixed in week three.

What I did

  • Ran an Amazon conversion and title audit, delivered as a SKU-level rewrite table rather than a list of opinions.
  • Wrote the retention copy deck for the lifecycle messaging system.
  • Audited the live retention funnel, covering A/B copy variants and the 60-day post-purchase win-back trigger, then documented the naming convention the team was quietly breaking.
  • Built the 2026–27 WhatsApp campaign calendar around the actual festival cycle, segmented by region where the occasion demanded it.

Listings, lifecycle copy and a full-year campaign calendar that a seasonal business can plan against instead of react to.

Boutique Yoga & Pilates Studio Wellness · boutique studio · via Yard AI

A studio with genuine community and no system for staying in touch with it.

  • Lifecycle email
  • Newsletter
  • Campaign design

The problem

Boutique fitness lives on retention, not acquisition. Loyal members, strong in-studio experience, and nothing holding it together between visits.

What I did

  • Designed the 2026 lifecycle email system and automation map: the triggers, the segments, and what each one is allowed to say.
  • Wrote and built the newsletter programme, shipped with A/B render variants to test tone and layout rather than guess.
  • Produced campaign creative and copy for workshop launches, including sound healing and chakra series.

A lifecycle programme the studio can run on a calendar, in a market where members choose on habit.

Outlier Coder's Newsletter Scale AI · developer community · global

Zero to 116,000+ subscribers, and a 44% average open rate held the whole way up.

  • Newsletter
  • Community ops
  • Events

The problem

Scale AI needed a direct channel to its global contributor community, one that could recruit and retain technical contributors without paying for the audience twice.

What I did

  • Built the Outlier Coder's Newsletter from scratch to 116K+ subscribers, sending 1.2M+ emails at a 44% average open rate and 1.1% CTR.
  • Ran hackathon operations end to end, with 4,000+ sign-ups and 800+ verified submissions, and streamlined contributor onboarding and submission flow.
  • Led webinars with 400+ attendees: speaker outreach, session design and post-event engagement.

A community channel that grew two orders of magnitude without the open rate collapsing, which is the number most newsletters lose first.

04 SEO infrastructure

What I leave behind.

An SEO plan is worth what actually ships. So I build the machinery around it: reporting that pulls itself, and a pipeline where nothing gets published until it passes its gate.

Stage 01

Keyword

Search demand, SERP gaps and LLM-answer gaps become a seeded calendar mapped to intent.

→ Planned

Stage 02

Draft

Written against the ranking target: intent, structure, internal links and schema.

→ In progress

Stage 03

Imagery

Covers and inline visuals routed by type, with variety and brand rules enforced, not suggested.

→ Ready for review

Stage 04

Publish

Straight into Webflow, WordPress or Shopify with metas and structured data attached, then indexation checked.

→ Approved → Published

Reporting that pulls itself

Search Console, GA4 and Google Business Profile metrics scheduled straight into client sheets, weekly for some brands and monthly for others. Rankings, impressions and indexation tracked over time, not rebuilt by hand each month.

Gates that block

Readability floor, an inline live source for every statistic, and no unverified price or claim. A page that fails doesn't get a warning. It doesn't get published.

One stack, many brands

The same skeleton runs across Webflow, WordPress and Shopify clients. A fix made once propagates; a new brand starts at week four, not week one.
